"When the Bengals went to bed Tuesday night after going step-for-step with the Lions in pursuit of wide receiver Marvin Jones, they were confident they could retain A.J. Green’s running mate. So they were a bit taken aback when Jones took what looked to be about the same money to go to a different system and a different quarterback in the other conference."

Chasing Glory huh?

Not sure about Glory, but he's got a chance to be a #1 WR in Detroit. In Cinci he'll always be the guy across from AJ Green.

Now, many people label Marvin Jones as the #3 or #4 receiving target. In fact, he was 2nd in both receptions and receiving yards in 2015. Eifert was 3rd and was used more in the red zone, for obvious reasons.

Gio was 4th in receptions and yards followed by Sanu, who was 5th.
